So, I'm on day 5 of my starter, and while at eat feeding (every 12 hours), its texture and flavor and smell have changed, its volume doesn't really seem to be changing. It's certainly not anywhere near doubling. Any thoughts? It's certainly warm in my kitchen, being California in summertime. I'm using fine whole grain flour. Thanks! If the starter is thick like a pancake batter and bubbly, you are on the right track. If it seems thin and inactive, you may need to add some flour. Be sure to discard in between feedings. Any further trouble? Give us a call on the hotline- 800-827-6836. ~Amy
